ODE  FOR  SEPTEMBER  7*- 


SOLO. 


t.  230. 


From  thy  holy  habitation, 
0  God  of  grace  and  consolation, 
Behold  us  meet  before  thy  throne. 
Saviour,  to  believer's  precious, 
With  sanctified  delights  refresh  us, 
And  us  as  thine  in  mercy  own : 
AIL  We  humbly  cry  to  Thee, 

Send  now  prosperity  ; 
Let  thy  beauty 
On  us  appear, — establish  here 
Our  work,  the  work  of  praise  and  prayer. 


MARRIED  PEOPLE.         T.  184. 


Accept,  0  God  of  our  salvation, 
The  sacrifice  of  praise  and  prayer ; 


Thou  bidst  us  come,;  all  things  are  ready, 

The  treasure  of  thy  boundless  grace 
Is  opened  to  the  poor  and  needy, 
They  ne'er  go  empty  from  thy  face.

Guide  us,  0  thou  great  Jehovah, 
Pilgrims  through  this  barren  land; 

We  are  weak,  but  thou  art  mighty  ; 
Hold  us  with  thy  powerful  hand-. 
Bread  of  heaven 

Feed  us  till  we  want  no  more. 

Open  now  the  crystal  fountain, 
Whence  the  living  waters  flow ; 

Let  the  fiery  cloudy  pillar 

Lead  us  all  our  journey  through  : 
Strong  Deliverer  :||: 

Be  thou  still  our  strength  and  shield. 


GUESTS.  T,  11 

Help  thy  servants  to  maintain 
A  profession  free  from  stain, 
That  their  sole  reproach  may  be, 
Following  Christ  and  fearing  thee. 

Lord  uphold  them  day  by  day, 
Shed  a  light  upon  their  way ; 
Guide  them  through  perplexing  snares^ 
Care  for  them  in  all  their  cares.

Tho'  dark  be  my  way,  yet'since  he  is  my  guide, 
'Tis  mine  to  obey,  and  'tis  his  to  provide  ; 
|Tho'  cisterns  be  broken,  and  creatures  all  fail, 
The  word  he  has  spoken  shall  surely  prevail.

0  Lord,  who  number'st  all  their  days,  |jl 

Who  guardest  them  in  all  their  wa}'S,  K 

In  whom  they  live,  and  move,  and  are,  (|j 

Who  know'st  their  wants,  and  nearest  prayer;—  ^ 

Endow  our  parents  with  thy  love, 
And  give  them  wisdom  from  above 
To  educate  each  child  for  thee, 
As  thy  redeemed  property. 


Grant  them  and  us,  their  children,  grace,  n 
So  here  on  earth  to  run  our  race 
That  we  in  heaven  may  meet,  and  sing 
Eternal  praise  to  thee  our  King.

PARENTS. 


T.  166. 


Our  children,  gracious  Lord  and  God, 
With  fervor  we  to  thee  commend  • 
Thou  hast  redeem'd  them  by  thy  blood ; 
Thy  blessing  on  them  all  descend  : 
Kind  Shepherd  take  each  little  lamb  * 
Into  thy  faithful  arms  of  love  ; 
Cause  them  to  know  thy  saving  name, 
And  thy  redeeming  grace  to  prove.

Beyond  your  utmost  wants 
His  love  and  power  can  bless; 
To  praying  souls  he  always  grants 
More  than  they  can  express.

Let  all  reply,  Amen  ;
